[0009] The second objective of the invention discloses a server apparatus structure to solve the defect that the computers devices should connect each other through a plurality of complicate network cables.

[0010] This invention discloses a server apparatus, comprising a case, a backboard, at least a signal-exchange device and a plurality of computer devices. There are two breaches on the front and the back of the case, and there are a plurality of symmetric guiders in a vertical inner side. The backboard has two faces, one sticks on the breach of the back of the case and there are a plurality of connect-slots, said connect-slots electrically connecting to each other The back of the signal-exchange device sets at least a first connector and the vertical width of the device is smaller than the width of the guider; by this, we can set it in the symmetric guiders. The back of the computer device sets at least a second connector and the vertical width of the computer device is smaller than the width of the guider; by this, we can set it in the symmetric guiders. While the computer device and the signal-exchange device completely slide into the case, the first connector and the second connector wedge in the corresponding connect-slots. Besides, there is a gripper on each of the both sides in the front of the computer device and the signal-exchange device that stuck on the corresponding splinted trough on each of the both sides of the breach in the front of the case to stick on the computer device and the signal-exchange device into the case.

[0011] In the invention, each computer device and signal-exchange device has an independent power device that respectively applies its needing power as a power supply. In addition, each computer device and signal-exchange device further has an independent cooler device inside. Each computer device can either put into'the server apparatus or be an independent server.

[0012] Besides, each computer device of the server apparatus in the invention directly communicates the signal-exchange device through the backboard, and then connects other external computer devices, server apparatuses and similar devices through backboard and the signal-exchange device. It can substantially lower the complicate degree of the external connecting of the server apparatus.

[0013] Furthermore, the backboard can become a shape of reverse T. By such way, while the signal exchange device and a plurality of computer devices put into the case, it can provide the signal-exchange device and a plurality of computer devices more cooler space.
